The drum beat begins...
Impeachment! We cannot lose the majority or the last two years will be nothing but this shit.

This is an *opinion* piece.

KUHNER: President's socialist takeover must be stopped

He is slowly - piece by painful piece - erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there - yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela's leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above - one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It's time for him to go.

He has abused his office and violated his oath to uphold the Constitution. His health care overhaul was rammed through Congress. It was - and remains - opposed by a majority of the people. It could only be passed through bribery and political intimidation. The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the $5 billion Medicaid set-aside for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson - taxpayer money was used as a virtual slush fund to buy swing votes. Moreover, the law is blatantly unconstitutional: The federal government does not have the right to coerce every citizen to purchase a good or service. This is not in the Constitution, and it represents an unprecedented expansion of power.

*snip*

Mr. Obama is waging a frontal assault on property rights. The BP oil spill is a case in point. BP clearly is responsible for the spill and its massive economic and environmental damage to the Gulf. There is a legal process for claims to be adjudicated, but Mr. Obama has behaved more like Mr. Chavez or Russia's Vladimir Putin: He has bullied BP into setting up a $20 billion compensation fund administered by an Obama appointee. In other words, the assets of a private company are to be raided to serve a political agenda. Billions will be dispensed arbitrarily in compensation to oil-spill victims - much of it to Democratic constituents. This is cronyism and creeping authoritarianism.

Mr. Obama's multicultural socialism seeks to eradicate traditional America. He has created a command-and-control health care system. He has essentially nationalized the big banks, the financial sector, the automakers and the student loan industry. He next wants to pass "cap-and-trade," which would bring industry and manufacturing under the heel of big government. The state is intervening in every aspect of American life - beyond its constitutionally delegated bounds. Under Mr. Obama, the Constitution has become a meaningless scrap of paper.

3. What do you mean "begins"?
I saw an "Impeach Obama" bumpersticker before he was even sworn in.

6. They never rest
And yeah, it seems another wave is working itself up. I wonder what it might finally take for these motherfuckers to lose their credibility?

7. How does the tit for tat thing work these days?
I heard (some pundit somewhere, I suppose) that Clinton was impeached because the Republican party wanted payback for Nixon.

Is the score sheet still out of balance? Will they impeach every Democratic president from now until they get a Democrat to resign in disgrace? Or will we owe them a new impeachment after theirs? I got the impression that * got a pass because we (the voting public) don't welcome impeachment shenanigans any more. That's what Pelosi, et al would have me believe, at any rate.

Will they never stop impeaching Presidents not of their own party -- score card be damned?

Are there rules to this game?
